generous-hearted, energetic citizens
and such a host of Christian ladies
will always prosper, and her religious
and moral institutions will be sustain
ed. The sister towns seem rather
ashamed of the vote that they gave
to the amendment. l have travelled
through White, Putnam, Overton,
Picket, Clay, Jackson and Smith,
and none of their towns seem to have
the life and energy that McMinnville
has.
Cookville seems to arouse from a
long period of lethargy, rubs her eyes,
and says that "a man by the name of
Crawford from away off somewhere,
perhaps in Europe, proposes to build
them a railroad, provided he can get
the right of way, which will be q
great help to the business interest OF
the country and will cause the town
to build up someW
Livingston wants a railroad too,
but she is to have a fair next week,
and all of the natives from the noun
tains, including Byrdstown and Cell
ma, will be on hand.

Favorable Impressions.

We print below a portion of a let

visits McMinnville occasionally. 1t
will be found a good tonic for any
who may be afflicted with hypochon-
driasis:
EDITOR STANDARD Since leaV-
ing your pleasant little city, on the
morning of Sept. 90th, the day after
the election, l have had to answer
many questions in regard to McMinn-
vile and her prospects, her people,
ETC., from persons who have never
been so fortunate as myself, to enjoy
the pleasure of visiting this beautiful
little city in the mountains and being
associated with her beautiful and
kind-hearted Christian ladies and
generous and hospitable gentlemen.
Her manufacturing establishments,
her colleges and churches with their
glitterIng spires towering high above
everything else in the city tell the
stranger what she is; but to those
who have never visited it, and have
only heard that the city of McMinn-
vile voted a majority for the propos-
ed amendment, their curiosity is en-
cited; they wonder and conjecture
among themselves what kind of a
city is it? The good people are de-
lighted to think there is such a place
in the mountain country, while an
other class think that it certainly
must be an old fogy town inhabited
by Monks and fanatics.
The answer is, that she is still a
prosperous and enterprising city, des-
tined to continue in the future, as she
has been in the past, to be the capital
city in the mountains.
They ask about her people, her
churches and her schools, and are
answered, that a city which has such

bition election. 1t was the largest

tai number being 272, 7O1, of which

A SPECIAL term of the Davidson
county court has been called for Mon
day, Oct, 25th, to consider the SUBJ
mission of the new proposition from
the Tennessee Midland Railroad. The
new proposition asks for a subscrip-
ton of $500, 900 from Davidson coun-
ty, payable in three installments, as
follows: 100000 when the road is
completed and in operation from
Memphis to a point on the road one
hundred miles east of Nashville /;
5000, 900 when completed to the Gin
cinnati Southern Railroad, and $780,
600 when completed to the Virginia
State line. If the people of David
son county don't accept this PROPOSE
ton then they don't deserve any
thing better than to remain in the
clutches of the L.. & N, monopoly.
II there is one thing Nashville needs
more than another, it is a competing
line of railroad, and 1t certainly could
not ask or expect a more liberal pro-
position from any company than
this. The Midland will be the most
useful railroad ever projected through
Tennessee, and half million dollars
is a very modest amount Of aid for
Davidson county to extend to such
an enterprise.

THE newspaper comment through
out the United States on the prohi-
bition election in Tennessee would
fill quite a large volume. The strong
fight which the prohibitionists made
has elicted most favorable comment
from every section of the country.
There seems to be a general impress
ional over the country that the pro-
hibition sentiment is gaining strength
with each succeeding campaign.

plant has never been cultivated. but
grows wild in patches on the borders of
rivers and lagoons. The stalks of the
plant contain the fiber of commerce, and
grow sometimes 10 height OF twelve
feet. The Indians scrape off the hard
skin Of the stalk with ham,oo knife,
and thus obtain the filters which form the
heart of the stalk. Another plan is to
steep the stalks in water until the skin
decompoSe,; hut this is said to in1ure the
fiber somewhat.
In recent wears machines have been
devised To- decOrticate the fiber. but these
have all hsen failures, owing 20 the fact
that no machine has yet been invented
capable of operating on profitable scale.
In Honduras the pita or silk grass
iber is used chiefly for thread. nets, fish
line and cordagc. Samples of the fiber
sent 10 the United States and Europe
have been manufactured into lace hand
kerchiefs. ribbons and wigs. 1t is held
to be a substitute for silk or linen: and il
proper machinery were forthcoming. the
wild pita fields Of Honduras might be
utilized in commerce. Consul Burchard
indeed expresses the opinion that the
fiber is destined 10 become a very inn
portant element in the future commerce
and industry Of this country.-Scientifio
